🚨Forestry Tasmania has built a new access road to begin logging an area of ancient forest at the junction of the Arthur and Frankland rivers in Takayna / Tarkine. We have launched into action to defend it, with two courageous defenders arrested in the last two days. #Politas

Good luck Cat!! (All the data *will* be used one way or another, but squares with 2 days of surveys on them - a third is a bonus - are the key to monitoring for population changes in #WhereWhereWedgie)

Any day featuring a bandicoot is a good day! Eastern barred bandicoots have experienced declines across much of their range in Tasmania, so it was nice to see this very healthy one out near Lake Leake

In Cape York with @Inala_Nature and what an amazing trip it has been! Palm Cockatoo, Yellow-billed Kingfisher and Sahul sunbird to name a few! 🤩 #InalaNatureTours #birding #capeyork

Spot the palm cockatoo!

Palm cockatoo nearly dropped this on my head 😅 the expertly crack open these beach almonds with their amazing beaks and extract the nut inside. #inalanaturetours #capeyork #palmcockatoo

Ok important question, can a bird or a snake 'dash' or does dashing require an animal to have legs?

Alright who wants to sponsor me to attend the 2025 International Conference for Women Birders?? 😃 🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜🐦 ic4wb.com

Excellent job opportunity with Dr SWIFT PARROT at @ANUFennerSchool jobs.anu.edu.au/jobs/technical…

Exciting ecology job in Tas!

We need an elected Australian Government to grow a spine and make the necessary changes to provide our environment with a reasonable level of protection. abc.net.au/news/2024-09-1…

Look who came to be counted in the #AussieBirdCount today 🦜🦜🦜

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 62 CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SWIFT PARROTS IN THE TREE RIGHT BY OUR FRONT DOOR!!

The only way to describe swift parrot feeding is frantic, it's a real race to consume nectar. Especially when their favorite Blue Gums (Euc globulus) aren't flowering and they need to rely on the smaller blossoms of Black Gums (Euc ovata)

Tasmania - when the government says it cannot afford to fix the housing crisis or protect our environment, just remind them they are paying $47,534 a week to park a ship in Edinburgh because the port here won't be built till 2027. abc.net.au/news/2024-12-0…
